This activity involves watching the film National Treasure and adhering to a predetermined set of rules that dictate when participants consume an alcoholic beverage. For instance, a player might drink whenever a specific character appears on screen, a particular word is spoken, or a certain plot point occurs. This transforms a passive viewing experience into an interactive and potentially humorous social event.
Such activities offer a way to enhance engagement with a film, fostering a sense of camaraderie among participants. The rules add a layer of anticipation and playful competition, which can make repeat viewings more enjoyable. The practice also reflects a broader trend of adapting popular culture into interactive games, demonstrating the enduring appeal of the source material and its capacity for adaptation into new forms of entertainment. Originating alongside the movie’s release, this custom evolved through word-of-mouth and online communities, showcasing the impact of media on social interactions.
